fun fact. the most popular day for bannings/probing is monday.

presumably the mods are grump and hungover on mondays or it's just when the mod approval queue gets the most attention.

It’s more so the latter, at least in my experience.

They were all banned after Lowtax stepped in and said although toxxes are stupid, they've always been enforceable and you can't change the rules ex post facto. I think that intervention spurred a mass mod exodus if I'm remembering the events correctly.

It's more complicated than this and the mod exodus happened in at least two waves, is my understanding. Most of the mod threads about these topics are archived now so I can't read them, but I've pieced together from speaking to former mods that it was more about other stuff that was happening at the same time.

Mod drama occurs in cycles, it is inevitable like the seasons or the tides.

Anyway the Hillary toxxes did eventually go through (I was banned for that!).

See if you can guess what these each were! I just used the date of the time processed so sometimes these are one day grouped into two entries, such as 2007-04-(11,12) and 2016-11-(10,11).
